16 Come out of the ark thou and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee;

17 Thou shalt bring forth with thee all the beasts that are with thee, from all flesh, from the fowl, and from the cattle, and from every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth: let them disperse upon the earth, and let them be fruitful and multiply in the earth.

18 And Noah went out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him;

19 All the beasts, and all the creeping things, and all the birds, every thing that moves on the earth, according to their kinds, went out of the ark.

20 And Noah built an altar to the Lord; And he took of every clean beast, and of every clean bird, and offered it for a burnt offering on the altar.

21 And the Lord smelled a sweet fragrance, and the Lord said in his heart, I will no more curse the earth for man's sake, for the thought of a man's heart is evil from his youth. and I will smite no more every living thing, as I have done, saying,

22 Henceforth, all the days of the earth, sowing and harvesting, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.

Chapter 9

1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth;

2 Let all the beasts of the earth, and all the beasts of the earth, and all the fowls of the air, and all that moveth on the earth, and all the fish of the sea, fear you, and tremble at you: into your hands they have been delivered.

3 Everything that moves, that lives, shall be your food; as herbs I give you everything;

4 Only flesh with its life, with its blood, ye shall not eat;

5 I will also demand your blood, in which your life is, I will demand it from every beast, I will also demand the life of a man from the hand of man, from the hand of his brother.

6 Whosoever sheds the blood of man, his blood shall be shed by the hand of man: for man is created in the image of God;
